This article contains so many elements of a Borges story that by the second paragraph I assumed I was reading a work of fiction. Upon further reflection, it seems plain that, while every word of it is without doubt true, the story is a hoax.
If you've ever read his essays, you'll get the same eerie feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop while something inexplicable moves beneath the surface of the facts.
